This next car comes as a tip from Art C who writes: Less than 300 (~280iirc) of this gen v70 t5 manual wagons imported (98-00). Best looking obviously. 2.3 turbo 5 is stout and sounds uhhhhmazing when downpipe/exhaust fitted. This is clean and priced very reasonably. Find this 1999 Volvo V70 T5 offered for $4400 in Westchester, NY via craigslist.
Some cars just don't get the respect that they deserve. This lack of respect manifests itself into head scratchingly low asking prices. The Ford Falcon is widely known as the redheaded step child to the Ford Mustang. Today's 1962 Falcon has been extensively hot-rodded using parts from multiple Ford models over the last four decades. Find this 1962 Ford Falcon Futura for sale in Ballston Spa, NY for $7,800 via craigslist. 
The V70 was introduced in 1996 as a replacement for the 850, which was the first of the front-drive Volvos, breaking a tradition of rear-driveness that started...well...way back in the day. The V70 turned the square edges of the 850 into some rounded sculpture styling and it signaled the end of the brick. Regardless, the V70 wasn't a bad car to drive in the R version or even the T5 with 5-speed manual. Find this 1998 Volvo V70 T5 offered for $2,000 in Noe Valley, CA via craigslist. Tip from FuelTruck.
